the "dyndns2" protocol to perform updates. Afterwards, enter the username and
the token secret that you received during registration. Last, tell ddclient how to
detect your IP address, your domain name and the update interval.
To test your setup, run ``sudo ddclient -force`` and see if everything works as
expected.

**Note:** As of the time of this writing, ddclient does not use an encrypted
HTTPS connection by default. To enable it, open ``/etc/ddclient.conf`` and add
HTTPS connection by default when the scheme (either "http://" or "https://") is
missing from a URL. To enable it, open ``/etc/ddclient.conf`` and add
``ssl=yes`` above the ``server=`` statement. We **strongly recommend** doing
so; otherwise, your credentials will be exposed during transmission.
